Child Safety

• Never leave children unsupervised when the appliance is in use.

Safety during use

•This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

•This appliance should be used only for normal domestic cooking, roasting and baking of food.

•Be careful if connecting electrical appliances to sockets near to this appliance. Electrical leads must not be caught under the hot oven door.

•Warning: Risk of burns! The oven interior becomes hot during use.

•If you use ingredients containing alcohol in the oven, a slightly flammable mixture of alcohol and air may ensue. In this case, be careful when opening the door. Do not handle any sources of heat, sparks or naked flames when doing so.

3Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

•Do not place aluminium foil over the floor of the oven and do not place baking trays, pans etc. on the floor as the resulting build-up of heat can damage the oven enamel.

•Fruit juices which drip from baking trays leave stains which cannot be removed. Use a deep tray for very moist cakes.

•Do not place loads on the open oven carriage door.

•Never pour water directly into the oven when it is hot. This could cause damage and discoloration to the enamel.

•Rough handling, especially around the edges of the front panel, can cause the glass to break.

•Do not store any flammable materials inside the oven. These could ignite when the oven is switched on.

4Description of the Appliance

•Do not store any moist foods inside the oven. This could cause damage to the enamel.

•After switching off the cooling fan, do not keep uncovered dishes in the oven. Moisture may condense in the oven interior or on the glass doors and may get into the units.

3Note on enamel coating

Changes in the colour of the oven’s enamel coating as a result of use do not affect the appliance’s suitability for normal and correct use. They therefore do not constitute a defect in the sense of the warranty law.
